Three trees of Dysart continued...
"... as a memorial of its former state, "_____" there has long been a proverb here "as old as the three trees of Dysart". The original trees were removed long since the ones now standing were planted within the memory of Mr Baines Senr. [Senior] (Factor) who has been on the estate for fifty years, they have not the appearance of being old.
" It is questionable whether the present trees are the same which tradition refers to. It is more than probable that, having fallen into decay, three others were planted in their location." New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account]

The boundaries of these counties were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
